Since its inception, LIFE have been engaged with the owners of North Island in the design, strategic direction & guest experience of this multi award-winning eco-retreat.
This Noah’s Ark has won countless international awards, amongst them ‘Best of the Best in the World’ from Conde Nast Traveller UK and continues to marry elegant design, luxury ecotourism and return on investment in a model of sustainable development which has become a beacon and benchmark in the international industry.
